The Pittsburgh Pirates off-season so far has consisted mostly of filling out vacancies throughout the organization. Travis Williams replaced Frank Coonelly, Ben Cherington replaced Neal Huntington, Derek Shelton replaced Clint Hurdle, and assistants in the front office and coaching staff have been put into place.
From the standpoint of baseball transactions, the Pirates have made only one major-league acquisition and that was signing catcher Luke Maile to a one-year deal.
There have been rumors on the Pirates having trade discussions on a number of their players, but nothing has come to fruition at this time.
